Q. How patient do you have to be out there considering these conditions?

ADRI ARNAUS: Yeah, extremely patient. I mean, you just have to really commit to the shot you want to hit. Really, also, think what is the best place to be, and just execute that. It's very small greens and the pins are quite tucked, honestly, so yeah, you've got to be smart out there and do your best.
